𝘿𝙖𝙮① Wuzhen West Scenic Zone ➠ West Street ➠ Fu'an Water Alley ➠ Tea Market Street ➠ Rowing Boat ➠ Wuzhen Night Tour

2⃣️ Must-photograph spots in Wuzhen📸
📍 Tong’an Bridge + Renji Bridge: Warm light in the early morning or evening shines through the bridge arches, instantly turning them into a “time tunnel.”
📍 Old Post Office Time Tunnel: Frame people through wooden lattice windows with a background of yellowed letter walls, as if traveling back in time.
📍 Water Market Lantern Corridor: From 6:30 to after 7 PM, when the sky is not completely dark, the warm light of the lanterns contrasts beautifully with the cool-toned sky for great photos.
📍 Water Stage Reflection: Wait for a rowing boat to pass the stage, capture the moment the oar breaks the reflection, creating a full atmospheric vibe!
📍 Caomu Bense Dyeing Workshop: Blue and multicolored dyed cloths hang on wooden racks, swaying in the wind above the ancient town, hard not to love.
